GOLF ASIA 119

their partnership to provide a fleet of the
S-Class cars as part of its complimentary
Chauffeur-drive service. Emirates First Class
passengers arriving or departing in the UAE
will enjoy a seamless journey from aircraft to
home, and vice versa, in a Mercedes-Benz
S-Class car.
The entire Emirates 777 aircraft sports a
refreshed interior with a light and modern
colour scheme, classy textured panels, as
well as new lighting and design accents. An
artistic motif representing the Ghaf (prosopis
cineraria) tree, is used as a design highlight
throughout the aircraft. An indigenous
evergreen plant, the Ghaf is a considered the
national tree of the United Arab Emirates, and
has deep cultural and ecological significance.
The design and shape of Emirates’
Business Class seat onboard the new 777
was also inspired by the interior of a modern
sports car, with a diamond stitch pattern

on the full leather cover, ergonomically

designed headrest, and a sleek overall look

and feel. The Business Class Cabin features

seats with a pitch of 72 inches and moves

into a fully-flat sleeping position. It also has

touchscreen controls for the seat and inflight

entertainment system, several personal

lighting options, privacy panels between

seats, a shoe stowage area, footrest, and a

personal mini-bar.

The Economy Class cabin now features

a colour palette of soft greys and blues. The

ergonomically designed seats come with

full leather headrests that have flexible side

panels and can also be adjusted vertically for

optimum support. All cabin classes will be

equipped with a new generation of Emirates’

award-winning ice inflight entertainment

system offering improved and superior

image quality. Each in-seat screen will feature

ultra-wide viewing angles, a capacitive touch

screen, LED backlight and full HD display.
